The Good

Battery life

Screen

The Bad

Lack of Gyro and Notification light

Seems overpriced for the specs

touchwiz

The Bottom Line

Great budget device when it comes to performance and battery life but could have been better specially in this price segment where competition is very high.

Design:

Design is a classic Samsung device, nothing specially decent build quality and bezels and overall device feels quite good in hands but not very premimum.
Lack Gyro and LED notification is a starge ommision to cut costs and makes the device almost unusable with VR and LED notification is quite an usefull feature to be left out.

Display:

The phone has a 5.5 inch Super Amoled display. The viewing angles are great and the display is bright allowing easy usage in bright conditions.Its great to see samsung use the Super Amoled panels in their new mid range devices.

Performance:

The Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 is powered by 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, which is powering lot of other mid range devices in 2015.
Unlike most other devices which use the 615 chip there are no major heating issues in the Galaxy j7 thanks to mostly the 720p screen instead of a full HD. The phone handles anything you throw at it without too much trouble and handles most games quite well and performance is quite great for this price range.

Battery:

The 3000 mAh battery on the Galaxy j7 ensures great battery life and will last a full day easily even for some of the heavy users.
Device charges considerably fast and battery life is not really a concern on the device.

Camera:

The Camera on the device is 13 Megapixel camera on the back and 5 Mp on the back both of which are moderate but atm there are devices with better cameras in the market at similar price points.
Device does take decent shots in well light situations and lags behind as the light reduces which is expected in a device at this price point.

Software:

The Device runs their own latest Samsung Touchwiz skin on top of Android.Devices with most features of touchwiz but performance is quite subpar thanks to the under powered chipset and there is really nothing specially or good that we can talk about.

Samsung j7 is best or not

Siddhy

asked 2 years ago

Hi
no samsung device other note 4 , 5 and galaxy s6 variants are worth it.
since samsung uses heavy skin on top of android and phones low end and mid range specs can't handle that smoothtly.
I'd suggest goin with Moto G 3rd Gen much better device over all
comes with similar specs
but better camera and most importantly it has stock android 5.1.1 and will be updated to 6.0 which make sit one of the smoothest and the fastest device in the market.

Best phone around 15k. Dont want Motorola. Don't want cheap looking brands like micromax. Need camera that is better than moto g. What should I consider

Siddhy

asked 3 years ago

Hi Naman,
Since you don't any smaller brand and no Moto devices also only other good option left in this budget with a good camera which match or do better than the Mogo G is Samsung Galaxy J7 : Samsung Galaxy J7
Comes with decent specs and has a good camera.
But if u want a great phone in this budget and dont mind a another brand you can go for Xiaomi Mi 4.
which comes with best camera under 20k budget and also top end specs with lag free performance and all day battery life.

Smart Phone With Good Camera, Battery And With OTG Option

Hi Anand,
both phones are pretty mediocre for real life performance.
i'd sugget going with Moto G 3rd Gen which is much better with similar specs and better camera.
the real life perofmrance on moto g is second to none in this price range and it has one of the best cameras in this budget and battery life.
OTG is also there.

Budget : 15-20K.I was thinking about samsung j7. How it is? is there any other suggestion from your side I want some durable phone so I was looking for brand, am i going correctly please suggest me.Thanks in advance.

Siddhy

Hi.
the best device in this price range is OnePlus One it easily out specs and performs anything in this budget comes with top end snapdragon 801 chipset.
Stock based android for smooth performance and fast updates.
3GB ram and best in class battery life.
But if u want to go with a very well known brand you can buy the Moto G 3rd Gen instead of j7 it has identical hardware to j7 but it runs stock android instead of skinned version of samsung which makes it much smoother and faster than samsung.
it also has 2GB Ram and one of the best cameras in an android phone in this budget because it uses the same camera hardware as the much costlier Nexus 6.
Most importantly it will also get upcoming Android M update much faster than Samsung and is water resistant.

Samsung Android With Faster Web Browsing And Faster Youtube, Price Below 14000 And A Very Good Battery

Hi Franny,
best samsung phone you can get in this budget is the latest launch Samsung Galaxy J7 .
it comes with moderate specs a decent screen and large battery for good battery life.
browsing and app speeds will be fast enough.
Actual you tube video speed and website speed doesn't depend on the phone for that you need a fast internet connection at-least a 3G connection with good coverage.

What about Samsung J7

Siddhy

asked 3 years ago

Not worth the money with its specs it has similar specs to a redmi 2.

GAJENDRA LAKHARA

asked 3 years ago

But Samsung is a brand and i think J7 had a removable battery also, its good how is it

Siddhy

asked 3 years ago

If you really want to pay for the brand you can go ahead.
Removable battery doesn't mean a lot specially when u have a phone which can last a day if u really want extension options a power bank does a lot better than a removable battery.
Samsung also uses pretty heavy skin on top of android which makes thier lower end devices not that desirable and laggy.

GAJENDRA LAKHARA

asked 3 years ago

I think that removable battery is better then the non-removable because in non-removable phone how we reset if phone hang and when the battery is gone after few year then the process is hard and it will done by the only service center

Siddhy

asked 3 years ago

By the time a battery dies in a smart phone its roughly 3 to 4 years by which you would get a new smart phone.
Also if battery is sealed u can still reset the phone just by holding down power button for 8 to 10 secs works on every phone.

asked 3 years ago

You can get moto g3 for 13000 with same spec.
If brand don't matter I would defenetly consider 15k or 18k for 64 GB varient.

Samsung And Windows

banik

asked 3 years ago

Which phone to buy inbetween lumia 540 and galaxy j5/j7?
are there any disadvantages of samsung over windows in terms of camera, battery and other specs?

Siddhy

asked 3 years ago

Hi Banik,
the Samsung device is much newer and has better hardware than the lumia 540 so it will have better camera its too new to judge battery life.
Honestly at 15k its not a great value for money based on specs and performance because samsung implements a heavy skin over android which needs a lot of ram and hardware to run smoothly which the j7 and j5 just doesn't have.
if you aren't fixated on this these phones and brand i'd suggest going for Xiaomi Mi4 it is easily the best phone u can buy in this under 15k and xiaomi is atm a very well ruputed brand in india.

Ok!! in this price range, the best smartphone will Asus ZenFone 2 32 GB .
4GB RAM is good enough to help with fluid performance.
However, for the Samsung smartphones we both share same feelings.
